The days of the dirt-cheap buffet and the 99 cent shrimp cocktail are long gone — and with inflation on the rise, cheap eats are harder to find than ever in Las Vegas. But being on a tight budget doesn’t mean you can’t (or shouldn’t) enjoy a meal out, says contributor Brent Holmes. Today on the podcast, Brent tells co-host Dayvid Figler all about their philosophy on cheap eats, and where to find the best ones in town, from falafel to food markets.

A list of the restaurants that Brent and Dayvid discuss:

Hot food counters at Marketon, Mariana’s, and Rani’s World Foods
Pho Bosa Kitchen
Fat Boy Restaurant
Daikon Vegan Sushi
Gyro Time
Ellis Island Village Pub & Cafe
Habanero Grill
Esmeralda’s Cafe
